Finally had some weather where the stove got to work. I have been experimenting with larger split sizes and am very happy. I was able to run the stove wide open blowers blazin for 12 hours on loads of 3 year dried beech, locust and maple. That combined with a lot of work on the shell of the house this year by far did the best job keeping up in 0F and blowing weather that I have done to date. This is the first time I have been able to maintain in those conditions without breaking out the electric heaters. Kind of a drag to load the stove with chunks tonight but don't have enough to be burning 150 pounds of dry big splits a day for very long anyway.
